Device for recording coded digital audiovisual data determines if residual storage capacity in storage medium is adequate for program data of program contribution based on mean data rate

摘要

The device has a storage medium (160) for recording program data (123') contained in the coded digital audiovisual data with a fluctuating data rate and a device (140) for determining a mean data rate for recorded program data in order to determine whether the storage capacity remaining in the storage medium is adequate for the program data of a program contribution on the basis of the mean data rate. Independent claims are also included for the following: a method of recording coded digital audiovisual data.
